Warning! This article contains spoilers for Neverwinter’s latest expansion, The Cloaked Ascendancy! If you want to discover the story on your own, play through that first!

On May 2, the threat upon Neverwinter continues with the release of Shroud of Souls! When breaking the warding runes on the Kelemvorite Crypt, Lukan set free the necromancer Morlanth. She has now vowed to raise an army of the dead and overtake the city of Neverwinter. It will be up to you, hero, to continue defending the city!

Shroud of Souls will take adventurers to Evernight, a twisted reflection of Neverwinter inhabited by both unsavory living residents and the undead. Heroes will also enter the Shard of Night, a spire from the Plane of Shadows belonging to the Netherese.
